Noone ever told me what to put. I put white because, well, look at me. You can get away better with choosing Black than I can. Jesus, I’m whiter than actual white people. When I was in Dublin, I had Irish people telling me to get out of the sun! Also, Canada never really had the one drop rule although I heard about it as a kid. Funny how we don’t notice but there are actual cultural differences between Canada and the US.

I couldn’t take advantage of the free school, it felt wrong to me. Too many questions to answer. I just didn’t feel right, I’ve always been acutely aware of the fien line I walk. That said, the article that prompted this made me angry because I’m a lot of things, but a liar isn’t one of them. .
